Where is 345 Park Ave? What to know about site of Midtown Manhattan shooting

For those unfamiliar, this is the building where these murders took place. USA Today is the source of the photograph.

It’s difficult to overstate how rare this is. Access beyond the entrance is so rigorously controlled.

345 Park is only a few blocks from Rockefeller Center, where many out-of-towners have visited. Of course there is crime in NYC, but not with a visible long gun,and not in a seemingly highly secure midtown office building.

Awaiting the presser.

JMO and experience.

I'm curious when he arrived in NYC. Did he check out the building's lobby in advance to make a plan how to enter?

I don’t know how he ended up on the 33rd floor. Did he make his way into an elevator where someone already had pushed a button, or did he choose it as his target?

''The suspect in today’s deadly shooting in Midtown Manhattan was a 27-year-old who lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, law enforcement officials told CNN.

He had no significant criminal background, officials told CNN.

The suspected gunman was born in Hawaii but later moved to Las Vegas. He had a concealed carry permit for a handgun as well as an expired private investigator license in Nevada, officials told CNN.

In his youth, he was a competitive football player, sources told CNN.

Police shared a photo of the alleged gunman walking into the building carrying a long gun.

The suspect was found dead in the building from what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury, according to sources.''

''The suspected shooter first exchanged fire with a New York Police Department officer in the lobby of 345 Park Avenue, a skyscraper home to the headquarters of Blackstone and the National Football League, at around 6:40 p.m., a law enforcement official told CNN.
Then the gunman went up to the 33rd floor, the official said.
The NYPD received calls from the 32nd and 33rd floors.

They received reports of a body found in a stairwell with a rifle, dead of an apparently self-inflicted injury, the official told CNN.''

Commissioner Tisch said a black BMW pulled up on Park Avenue and a man stepped out carrying an M4 rifle and strode toward the building. He immediately shot the officer, sprayed the lobby with gunfire and went to the elevator, she said.

A woman came out of the elevator, and the gunman let her walk past him, the commissioner said. Then he went up to the 33rd floor, Rudin Management’s office, and shot another man before shooting himself.
